Thank you very much for choosing a CABASSE CINESOUND system.

CINESOUND is a Cabasse innovative solution, providing your screen with a grandiose Hi Fi or 3DCLS (“3 D Cabasse Live
Sound”) live sound.

The 3DCLS processor produces a Home Cinema surround effect without the need for rear speakers and enables several
people to experience the outstanding quality of Home Cinema sound, whatever the physical conditions.

This system is really easy to install and use. Once the connections are made, simply program your TV or universal remote
control to operate your CINESOUND, so that you can control everything using a single remote.

CABASSE CINESOUND enables you to reproduce sound from any audio source (CD, DVD, VCR, CAMCORDER, MP3…) and
benefit from a high quality listening experience by Cabasse.

Please read this manual carefully to get the best possible installation. Once you have read it, keep this manual in a safe
place for future reference. Depending on your country or region, your power plug and socket can differ from the one
represented on the drawings, but the connection and operation of CINESOUND remain the same as indicated.

4. SETTING UP

When deciding where to place your system, make sure to select a firm, level surface, properly secured to prevent rocking.
Do not put it:

- Close to a tape player or any device that generates magnetic fields or sound disturbances

- In direct sunlight

- In a damp place

- Where exposed to extreme temperatures

- In locations subject to vibrations or other abnormal movements

- In highly dusty, smoky, or greasy rooms (i.e. kitchen)

5. POSITIONING YOUR CINESUB

Before connecting your CINESUB, make sure the power switch is on the ON position and that the power cord of the device
is taken off the wall socket.

Never use damaged cables as they may cause electrical contacts and shocks, which could permanently damage your
system.

When installing your CINESUB subwoofer, make sure there is enough space (at least 10cm) on the electronics side of the
cabinet to provide for the free flow of heat. Otherwise, water may condense inside the cabinet and alter the performance
of the device or damage it. Do not place objects on top of CINESUB.

Do not cover it, either with any fabric or other material. Anything that prevents air from flowing through the ventilation outlets
will make the temperature rise inside the device, and might result in failures or fire.

Place CINESUB to the right or left of your screen, facing you or in profile. The side of the CINESUB woofer covered by a grille
should not be positioned against a wall or other surface in order to support appropriate diffusion of low frequencies. CINESUB
is fitted with 2 infrared LEDs (signal receivers), one on the front and the other on the right side (the loudspeaker side). These
LEDs allow the device to understand any signal transmitted by your remote control.

6. POSITIONING YOUR CINESOUND SAT 3 SATELLITES SET

Place all 3 satellites around your screen: one on the left, one in the middle (on top of or under the screen) and one on the
right of your screen. Both the left and right satellites (on each lateral side of the screen) should be at the same distance from
the center of the screen.

The satellites can be placed on shelves or on top of your screen, or wall-mounted using supplied wall brackets.

To mount the satellites onto the wall, simply unscrew their stands and mount them on the wall brackets, once these are
securely held onto the wall. For aesthetic purposes when using the wall-mounted system, connection cables can pass
above or inside the fixing.

Both left and right satellites can be mounted on stands (sold separately).

Make sure the satellites are positioned in a secure and stable way. Thus, you get enhanced sound quality, but you also
mitigate the risks of potential damage or injury resulting from the displacement or falling of the satellites in case of external
shocks, such as earthquakes.

Then connect each satellite to its corresponding output, as indicated by the printed labels near the SPEAKERS outlet of
CINESUB: Left, Center and Right.

When connecting the satellites, pay special attention to phasing: connect the speakers red cords to the +/red terminals of
the satellites. Proceed then in the same way for the -/black terminals.

Make sure the wires of the stripped-off satellite cord are tightly twisted together and properly plugged into the satellite’s
terminal.
